A soaring eagle!

Two cards to share today.

I created a scene on the first one. Masked the CS with die cut clouds and inked. I LOVE the result. Though it's not perfect I still love it. I dabbed some grey ink to make the clouds look natural. I also absolutely LOVE the silhouette. Eagles are magnificent birds, they never fail to awe me!

Made this card for my hubby, he likes eagles too. :)

Combined Colour conceptions challenge (create a scene) and CAS-ual Fridays challenge (Create with 8 )


The awesome sentiment is from CAS-ual Fridays stamps set- 'Frankly'
The silhouette stamp is from sweetnsassy stamps- Forest Silhouettes set


Here is another one. I made this one also for CAS-ual Fridays challenge.

I won't submit this as I feel something is definitely wrong with it! I think I don't like the PP strips at the top of the card or may be the black at the bottom of the panel. It might also be the colors. I never use so many colors on my cards, I used 8 colors here! This card to me, looks like a total disaster!:p But I did enjoy making this one...stamping, coloring and fussy cutting..I love those flowers...


The sentiment is from CAS-ual Fridays 'Wonderful words' set
The flowers are from 'Truth is'

That is all for today. Happy Sunday everyone! Have a great day! :)

Sindhu, both your cards are fabulous. But I second Pooja in saying that I really loved your second card more. I think all the elements have worked out perfectly in that. And your fussy-cut and colored flowers look so beautiful against the pattern paper and black background. I hope you change your mind about submitting this one! :)

Sindhu beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I love love the 2nd one..so cheerful and colorful and the flowers look as if they are just singing out with delight!! but frankly speaking the cloudy one looked a tad depressing to me!!...as I said beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!!

Wowza, girl, these cards knocked me out!! I love the eagle card! Your design lets him be the focal point in all his majestic beauty!

And I adore your rainbow poppies! I'm so glad you shared it because I think you are way too hard on it. It's beautiful! The only thing I would even consider changing is maybe putting a thin strip of black at the top over the PP, so it balancing the black at the bottom (which I love). What do you think? But it's lovely just as it is!! Hugs, Darnell
